Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

Covid Climbs

*HHS Secretary Alex Azar says the U.S. time is closing, to control the spread

The U.S. has reached an all-time high, of Covid cases from the start
We may lose control of the spread, any last grip falling apart
It would sweep through every state, when you think of it this way
Overwhelm hospitals, from every direction, filling up day to day
Then we would return to the beginning of a shut down
That had everyone complaining to start with, in each town
None of this makes any sense, as today we watch each crowd
Fill up streets side by side, all together screaming loud
I’ve always said, the virus will prove the truth over all
But, it’s unbearable to watch it, contribute to America’s fall

Caren Krutsinger July 3, 2020 at 5:55 AM It is "unbearable to watch" - truly unbearable to think of and seems to be getting worse since y you wrote this. Heidi Sands July 3, 2020 at 10:36 AM Thank you for your understanding comment on this Caren. It is so hard for all of us and we are so tired of it too. Take care. :)

Gershon Wolf June 30, 2020 at 10:14 PM Amazingly, Illinois is one of the few states where the positive case counts are not driving. It's by no means perfect here, but other than the insane rallies, nobody's congregating... The Mayor of Chicago's agents are all over the lakefront and other sites keeping people honest... Hats off to them. ~ Still locked down, frankly...gw Heidi Sands July 1, 2020 at 7:46 AM Good to hear it is not climbing there. Same for here..but sites not monitored as you describe. A lot of out of state tourists and the opening leaves it in question for later. I hope all is well. I appreciate your comments. Thank you :)

Arturo Michael June 30, 2020 at 1:11 PM It would seem that way..." The fall" it's so ridiculous the decisions made...but the rise may make her greater after all...Let's see Heidi Sands June 30, 2020 at 1:24 PM Let us be stronger...united and greater Arturo. Thank you for your input. I like it :)

Rico Leffanta June 29, 2020 at 1:54 PM The truly sad fact is that if everyone behaved as if it were a pandemic in February, the virus would have been under complete control by March, yet Trump et al continue to insist it will disappear on its own, so live for the moment - or at least long enough to re-elect him! Aloha! Rico Heidi Sands June 30, 2020 at 7:45 AM There certainly needed to be more consistent plans from the start ..in my opinion. And with all states doing things their own way..more conflicting results happen. Thank you for your comment Rico. I hope you have a nice day :)

Vijay Pandit June 29, 2020 at 7:23 AM Apt write, Heidi. Unfortunately it is everywhere. People are not listening and some leaders are playing politics. Hope we soon see some effective treatments or a vaccine. Heidi Sands June 29, 2020 at 8:04 AM Thank you Vijay. You are right. I appreciate your visit and comment. :)
